Before lockdown started I was having a pretty good 2020. I started it off in Barcelona with my boyfriend and his family, then went to (a very cold and shut down) Ibiza for an induction week with my new job and finally, just before all the craziness happened my boyf and I headed for a lovely 5 day holibobs in Disneyland Paris. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It just made sense for me to get back into the swing of blogging again by writing about Barcelona because it was beaut (I have to say I do really miss the days when doing a simple makeup review on your blog was a popular thing though). Hopefully this will be helpful for when all this craziness has stopped and people are able to go abroad safely and easily. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I found funny about Barcelona is that it is kind of a mini Paris? It has it's own version of the Arc de Triomphe, it's own version of Champs-Élysées - Las Ramblas, in a way it has it's own version of the Eiffel Tower - La Sagrada Familia - and then loads of beautiful architecture by Gaudi. I do think that I would love to come back when it's warmer as obviously, it was not the warmest in December! So anyway, here are some of my favourite locations for pictures and just a little bit about what we got up to. </div>

Probably one of the most stunning buildings I have ever seen? We didn't manage to get into this building as it was fully booked and very popular. But you can see why as it is absolutely stunning. If you head round to the side there is a little park with a lake which is a great spot for photos. Just make sure you do go a bit earlier as it's a prime tourist destination so you will end up with unwanted people in your photos! </div>

I believe this is one of the least popular and well known Gaudi museums. It is actually the first house Gaudi designed and it was so incredibly beautiful. Warm tones, loads of greenery and beautiful tiling. We went in the afternoon and it was really empty, although it is quite small though. I also had to wait for people to move so we could get photos, but nonetheless it was such a beautiful house. </div>

Designed by Gaudi for Eusebio Güell, this park has some of the most beautiful mosaic work and architecture (apparently). The park has two sections - the part with the mosaic work and architecture which you pay to get into and then the part outside that where you can still see beautiful views of Barcelona. We made the mistake of not booking a ticket so when we got there it was sold out (another reason to go back!). Instead we did the free part and did a super long walk around it and enjoyed the views. </div>

Another one of Gaudi's buildings which is so so stunning. Even though we arrived early to take pictures there was still a massive queue of people outside waiting to go in which sadly ruined it. However, it is still one of my favourite pictures as the architecture and design speaks for itself! </div>

Yes so believe it or not, this looks exactly like the one in Paris apart from the brick is red and not white. If you can get the angle right and there are no annoying people in the way it makes a great little photo spot! </div>

I cannot believe that just over three weeks ago I was sat basking in the glorious 30 degree heat in Orlando, strolling around the Disney parks and now I'm back in the UK waking up to cold and rain outside my bedroom window. Lovely jubbly. Don't get my wrong, I'm so excited for Autumn and Winter now but could have done with a bit more sunshine instead of rain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we set off for Orlando this year, as well as planning my outfits for the parks each day I was also planning where I was going to take pictures (you may think that's a bit sad but my Instagram feed says otherwise!). Even if you didn't want a killer Instagram feed then at least you'll have the cutest pictures to look back on from the trip, so really it's a win win situation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disney happens to be one of the prettiest and photogenic places in the entire world so I thought I would show you all some of the most instagrammable places to take photos while you're there. </div>

Obviously the Disney castle's are iconic, whether it is a picture of the castle itself or in front of the castle, it's still magnificent and makes the prettiest backdrop. If you're like me and my family and you're more concerned about getting on the rides as soon as you get to the park because it means less queueing time, if you head to the side of the castle by the green areas you can get a cute picture in front of the castle without all the people ruining the shot! These are actually some of my favourite photos ever taken and I'm so glad I coordinated my ears and my dress, don't even feel lame about it! </div>

One of the highlights of visiting Magic Kingdom is walking down Main Street USA and finally seeing the castle in the middle of the street. Obviously everything is beautiful but my fav store is the Confectionary Store which is pastel blue and pink, everything inside is adorable and looks delicious. Even though I didn't buy anything from here I'm still so obsessed with the exterior.</div>

The theming in Italy is so beautiful and actually has the best food at Via Napoli. Unfortunately my dad isn't the best photographer and cropped the head off Neptune so I wasn't best pleased but the photo still looks so cute.<br />

So basically, this is such a good location for photos if you're with people who are decent photographers - and my brothers are not. The Hollywood Tower of Terror and the palm trees look so cool, and the tower is pink so yano perfect for the gram. However, my pictures did not turn out so good as they think two pictures is enough to choose from.<br />

There's just something so magical about turning the corner and walking onto Diagon Alley. I had the most insane ice cream from Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream - salted caramel with blondie chunks yum - and Gringotts Bank makes the best backdrop. Sugarplums Sweet Shop is also a pink dream, even though I didn't take a pic in front of it because Diagon Alley was rammed, it's still so pretty!<br />

Whether it be a family member who is toxic (which are seemingly difficult to shake and manage as sometimes you want to maintain some sort of relationship with them), or a friendship, I feel like the most common toxic relationship is a romantic one. The trouble is, when you're in that relationship it's difficult to tell that you're the one in it. Your friends and family can tell and most of the time won't say anything to you or when they do you're in complete denial. It might be familiarity that keeps you in it, or a fear that you won't be fine on your own, or maybe even your judgement is clouded as your feelings are so strong that you fail to see that you're actually unhappy. I'm not sure which one it was with me, but the happiness I feel not being with this person is extraordinary like a weight being lifted off my shoulders and an I can actually breath again.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just wanted to write a post about my ex boyfriend of 5 years, in a hope that other women may feel empowered enough, have enough confidence in themselves and confidence in their gut instincts to do something about it and leave a toxic relationship. To be honest, I wrote this post over a month ago but when I initially wrote it, it came from a place of anger so I've chopped and changed a lot of what was written. I had found myself in an awful position where the guy I had been in a relationship with for 5 years, had been in a relationship with another woman for the last year of ours. Better yet, they had conceived a child while we were together and that child has now been born. While we have been broken up for quite some time and I've most definitely moved on, I can't help but feel betrayed. After all, he was official with another woman while he was sat at my dinner table with my family, showed me pictures from his holidays and bought us the exact same gifts.<br />
<br />
To continue with the story, after finding out about the baby and after I posted on my blogging Instagram account about the situation, the woman who has had his baby ended up seeing. I never in a million years thought that she would have seen my post as my blogging name is entirely different from my personal private account where I go by my nickname, nor did I know that she knew of me as his ex. Of course, life has a funny way of working out and she did see the post and ended up messaging me. It was a nice message and we both ended up sharing details and I feel so enlightened knowing the truth.<br />
<br />
On one of their many date nights, I had messaged like normal and she had seen. She asked him who I was and he said I was his crazy ex. He then saved his work phone number on his personal phone with my name and messaged it asking not to contact him again. He then proceeded to message back pretending to be me and showed it to the other woman. He also went on several holidays with her during the time we overlapped. Where ever they went he would still message me as if he was in the UK and would adhere to the UK time zone. I now know that he would message me while he was on the toilet so the other woman did not see.<br />
<br />
After the other woman got in contact and I answered her questions and she mine, he messaged me. I have to say he had no right to do so and it was a horrible message where he said how all I was doing was getting revenge - quite laughable as karma already saw to that.<br />
<br />
I do not particularly care what my ex is doing now or ever, nor do I wish him unhappiness despite how he has treated me and will continue treating women as I truly believe that he is a creature of habit. In fact, I do not wish him anything at all, instead I wish for others to be able to at least recognise they are in something toxic so that they can take the first steps in leaving. <br />

<br />
However, my reasons for ending our relationship did not come from me finding out about his cheating and deceitful lies. It came from me because I realised that I was better than the relationship; he was not providing me with any happiness and I was wasting my valuable time and money on something that did not make me happy. It is so difficult to leave something when you are so familiar with it and as he was my first boyfriend I simply did not know any better. He was someone who was never happy for me or my achievements, who belittled me and discouraged me from succeeding.<br />
<br />
I think people need to realise that you will be fine on your own. I cannot stress this enough. <i>You do not need to rely on other people for your own happiness.</i><br />
<br />
Anyway, this was quite a personal post so I hope you have enjoyed reading it and that it helps others who may be in the same situation.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes I feel like skincare doesn't get enough recognition. It might be because the packaging isn't as beautiful as a YSL compact, and maybe products just become so integrated into our routines that we use them by habit and forget how fab they are.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I actually took a min to look into it, I use quite a few products before going to sleep, most of which I keep in my bedside table draw and apply whilst sitting in bed. Although, one of them needs a more accurate application but it's a life saver so while we're on the topic, my acne lifesaver products comes in the form of a tiny bottle which is the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Qqij">Mario Badescu Drying Lotion</a></i>. For anyone who is suffering from any form of break out, or simply one little pesky spot, this little magic product has you covered. It really does what it says, completely dries the spot out. You need to apply it with a cotton bud, and it's a pink sediment that then dries once applied. It's honestly phenomenal and I couldn't recommend it enough! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb0KMkVz-XRsXUy7thWntimdrbg6O-aK3rPoAlODeGIFQn821PgXZQvgH2mnNsUg50geuOXo0cIm_rUtoNd6zWm6n-7bp5tGRO_5XcM6l6GMUspFqHMlY0jLOw8h7ij87c5rnkIyJ-Csw/s1600/IMG_0374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="1452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb0KMkVz-XRsXUy7thWntimdrbg6O-aK3rPoAlODeGIFQn821PgXZQvgH2mnNsUg50geuOXo0cIm_rUtoNd6zWm6n-7bp5tGRO_5XcM6l6GMUspFqHMlY0jLOw8h7ij87c5rnkIyJ-Csw/s1600/IMG_0374.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before applying any spot treatments I always moisturise. My favourite and go-to product at the moment is the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Qqiy">Clinique Moisture Surge</a></i>. It's a gel formula and sinks into the skin really nicely. I also use this in the morning before applying my makeup and it's just a really lovely product that leaves my skin feeling hydrated which is 100% needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking of hydration, the <i><a href="https://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/elizabeth-arden-eight-hour-cream-protectant-50ml-0097709.html#q=elizabeth%2Barden%2B8%2Bhour&lang=default&gclid=CjwKCAjw-8nbBRBnEiwAqWt1zflto-XKQlBSDzuO4-ZG3Oe08nFSl8-u5Xs77god-B1mKFb3sDiYXxoCVQcQAvD_BwE&start=13">Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream</a></i> is a miracle life saver. I cannot explain how nice this is as a glorified lip balm. For anyone who has dry chapped lips, ditch the cheap lip balms, this will literally save you. I put this on before I go to sleep and my lips always feel soft in the morning without a doubt. I feel like it also sorts out the corners of my lips as they can get really sore in warm/cold weather, so it's just an essential at this point. (I'd also like to point out that I've had this one tube for a year now and it's still going strong!). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now onto the lavender scents. I always find that lavender is a really soothing scent and helps aid sleep and helps me to unwind. The <i><a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/lavender/sleepy">Lush Sleepy Body Lotion</a></i> isn't strictly a simple lavender scent but it's you can smell it amongst some other ingredients but it does smell lovely. I seem to be applying this a lot recently, especially because it's been so hot and I am very very pale so I like to fake tan, gotta keep everything nice and silky smooth! If you're in need of another moisturiser, the <a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/sympathy-skin"><i>Lush Sympathy For The Skin</i> </a>which smells like vanilla banana custard, is incredible. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, I like to spray the <i>T<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Qqiy">his Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray</a></i> or the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/QqgV">Deep Sleep Pillow Spray Plus</a> </i>(which is just a strong scent) for when I'm feeling super stressed and need to chill out. I feel like the scent is very soothing and makes me feel like I'm at a spa so it definitely helps me to relax and zonk out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't know if these products just have a placebo effect or whether it's just the lavender scent in them working but they're all my night time essentials and I hope you've enjoyed reading this post! </div>

If there's one thing I love about Valentine's Day it's all the beautiful pink tones that come with it (if you've seen my Instagram you know that I live for pink tones). So whether you're going out for a saucy date night, or hanging out with the girls, who doesn't love to get a bit glammed up for the occasion? So without further delay, here are my favourite dreamy Valentine's makeup picks that I think are absolutely stunning.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Base</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My ultimate go-to base is obviously the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/yhqx">Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation</a></i>. This baby will stay on your face whilst giving a really good coverage of any blemishes etc. Mixed with a little bit of the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/yhsn">Tarte Shape Tape Concealer</a></i> to brighten up those under eye (designer) bags and you're onto a winner. To set the face I would highly recommend the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/yhlH">Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish face powder</a></i> as it is perfect for setting your base makeup without looking cakey, hallelujah!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
<br />
<h3>
Lit From Within</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So obviously you want to look lit, and by lit we mean all the highlighter. A new addition to my makeup stash that I'm loving right now is the dreamy <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/yhmE"><i>Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Highlighting Wand</i>.</a> Honestly, it's the most beautiful liquid highlighter that makes your skin look dewy and blinding at the same time. It's just such a beautiful product. It has a sponge applicator so you can just dab it onto the high points of your face and blend with your fingers, beauty blender or brush. The other thing I adore is that you can leave it as is, or add a powder highlighter over the top to really blind and add confidence for whatever the occasion.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<h3>
Bronzed Goddess </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You know what, I love being bronzed. I think it really just ties everything together and makes me look less tired than I actually am. My favourite for doing that at the moment is the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/yhsx"><i>Benefit Hoola Lite</i> </a>bronzer. I know this is targeted for lighter pale skin tones, but I really think this is a lovely shade to add colour without being too orange. It's like a pale biscuity shade and it's so gorgeous for giving your face some warmth without those harsh orange tones other bronzers can sometimes make you (it also makes for a great transitional shade for the eyes).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
Lashes</h3>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those of us who struggle in the lash department, a.k.a. me (thanks mum and dad), I love adding lashes to add volume. My favs at the moment at the KoKo Lashes in <a href="https://falseeyelashes.co.uk/products/koko-lashes-amore">Amore</a>* and <a href="https://falseeyelashes.co.uk/products/koko-lashes-queen-b">Queen B</a>*, which is exactly what we all are, queens. They're both so beautiful and a little bit spidery but they just that extra volume that my own lashes lack (and how cute is the packaging omg). You can pick them up from <a href="http://falseeyelashes.co.uk/">FalseEyelashes.co.uk</a>, and they also stock loads of other lashes if you don't fancy these. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A new addition to my makeup collection is the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/yhkF">NARS Wanted Palette</a></i> which completely encompasses what I think about when someone says pink tones. Like hellO. It has such a gorgeous selection of warm pink and red toned eyeshadows which are perfect for creating any look. My favs are the neutral champagne pinks which look gorgeous for that simple effortless glam eye, which you can also enhance with a darker matte brown or red. Perf. It's so versatile so if these softer pink shades aren't for you, you can go in for those beautiful darker reds and browns to really add the glam. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keeping in line with those gorgeous pink tones, a nice warm flush of pink on the cheeks can never go amiss. I'm loving the <i><a href="http://narscosmetics.co.uk/en_GB/super-orgasm-blush/0607845040309.html">NARS Blush in Super Orgasm</a></i> at the moment. It's got a little bit of shimmer and it just collectively ties in your bronzer and highlight for a healthy blush flush.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMpUkpKgT4iB4Us2yyq-WZzlYnMvNp1AA2nchhAv2Arl8NsPhnfMQR1NtQsnjy4ugsIZr7Oj7FgXUZyBqp6BO-8C8YlqgsJoi53eU3d6MJxGq7Afsh4a_wOC25OreFsWUEGFoc_p8pI4/s1600/IMG_9576.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1303" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMpUkpKgT4iB4Us2yyq-WZzlYnMvNp1AA2nchhAv2Arl8NsPhnfMQR1NtQsnjy4ugsIZr7Oj7FgXUZyBqp6BO-8C8YlqgsJoi53eU3d6MJxGq7Afsh4a_wOC25OreFsWUEGFoc_p8pI4/s1600/IMG_9576.JPG" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, would it be valentines day if you weren't wearing '<i>Valentine' by Charlotte Tilbury</i>? (Well yes it would be, lols). But this shade is so so perfect and ties in really nicely with the champagne pink tones from the <i>Wanted Palette</i>. I like to wear this with the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/yhnS">Pillow Talk lip cheat</a></i>, honestly it's such a vibe. (Real talk here though, how beautiful is the new Tilbs shade <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/yhnD">'<i>The Duchess</i>'</a>? I need it asap). One of my favourite drugstore finds is the <i><a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/nyx-professional-makeup-butter-gloss.html?variant_id=9923">NYX Butter Gloss in Fortune Cookie</a></i>. It's a beautiful light peachy pink which just adds the perfect wash of colour over the top of <i>Valentine</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So that's it for my dreamy Valentine makeup picks. I hope you all have a lovely day regardless of what you're doing (I have an essay due in this evening so woo yay.. Date night with my essay), but Happy Valentine's Day angels! </div>

<br />
Hola angels! Happy (late) New Year and welcome to my first post of 2018 which should come as no surprise, is all about my goals for twenty eighteen. I may have taken a little break with my blogging over December as I have been overrun with university deadlines so obviously you have to prioritise these things. It's actually really annoying because it means that I have to watch my lil blog take a little hiatus/a victim of neglect (sorry lil blog). So anyway on with my five goals for 2018! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Number One - Get a first class honours in my university degree</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I put this one at the beginning of my list because I see this as the most important for me right now. I've worked really hard this semester and it's reflected in my grades (which included doing group projects by myself). I'd also love to be the first member of my family to get a first so fingers crossed for me and my brain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Number Two - Have a healthier outlook on life </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is something I've really struggled with recently because my way of coping with stress is by binging and the amount of sugar I've been consuming just isn't healthy. So one of my goals for 2018 is actively trying to change this and have a healthier outlook on life where food isn't the be all and end all everyday. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Number Three - Post more content on my blog </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obviously, this stems into what was mentioned before about having to prioritise university work, but I'd love to be posting more frequently because I love the creative process that blogging entails. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Number Four - Stop comparing myself to other people</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know this is really difficult because part of being human is that naturally we consciously and subconsciously compare ourselves and our achievements to other people. Obviously, this isn't any way to achieve happiness and that's something I'd like to work on this year even though I know this going to be one of the hardest goals from this list as I do it without even noticing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Number Five - Think more positively </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think this one goes with the positive vibes only moral I want to adopt for this year and here on in. I can be quite dramatic about the smallest situation which, in a bigger perspective is actually nothing to be sad or worry about. So, 2017 you took all the negative vibes and drama with you because 2018 is the year of being positive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think sometimes when you overcomplicate your goals it becomes too much, so for me I feel like these are quite doable by keeping them simple. I hope 2018 is amazing for everyone and you achieve all your goals! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

When it comes to Christmas gifting, I always find that fragrances are my go-to product as they just make such amazing, classy presents. I think some people find scents a little bit challenging to buy but these two are fail safe. My favourite website for picking up fragrances is <a href="https://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/">Fragrance Direct</a> where they have an amazing selection of luxe perfumes and incredible discounts so you can pick them up cheaper. For people like me, who are poor students, we need all the discounts we can get. Also it's nice to save a little bit of money over Christmas because it means you're not scraping through till the January payday. So here are my two top picks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcUAaVSlOJZZM0gBMBWQuf4ANDL9MCEDdLzJTZ0an1Cf7M8TEMxrMulgjA2naI3J8znb2ZR_Ozge_PmBPUgu5v5JI-aGUJPPS6M7pk_7oq0WS5TGVs5Uxbvyqvg4tkXttL5ZkZHyI4uZM/s1600/IMG_7198.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1358" data-original-width="1358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcUAaVSlOJZZM0gBMBWQuf4ANDL9MCEDdLzJTZ0an1Cf7M8TEMxrMulgjA2naI3J8znb2ZR_Ozge_PmBPUgu5v5JI-aGUJPPS6M7pk_7oq0WS5TGVs5Uxbvyqvg4tkXttL5ZkZHyI4uZM/s1600/IMG_7198.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW5_7nXIehB6DBC5Y0dckAQEjrPf-Lzpe8Wuzl73FmY6af6a9nWuug7Sja2h0omBTi4MmZ3qvINBnoLEIvn9omPCFwWti1V1Py8l8XcmFFR3F72cMRlKXNPn6HvY3ROrSzwkjIBTHpEL8/s1600/IMG_7203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1359" data-original-width="1592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW5_7nXIehB6DBC5Y0dckAQEjrPf-Lzpe8Wuzl73FmY6af6a9nWuug7Sja2h0omBTi4MmZ3qvINBnoLEIvn9omPCFwWti1V1Py8l8XcmFFR3F72cMRlKXNPn6HvY3ROrSzwkjIBTHpEL8/s1600/IMG_7203.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So let's start with this gorgeous perfume which is the <a href="https://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/chloe-signature-eau-de-parfum-spray-75ml-0013047.html?cgid=christmas-fragrance-gifts-for-her#pathName=Christmas--Our%20Thoughtful%20Gift%20EditpEnd">Chloe Signature EDP</a> which comes incased in the most beautiful elegant looking packaging complete with a cute little bow. It smells so sophisticated and feminine and I'm so happy to now have it in my collection. I mean, it also makes for a good blogging prop and looks so pretty on my dressing table. It makes me feel very sophisticated even though I'm clumsy as anything so yes, what a winner. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzzJnuCI3aRSBiv2Al9Az24CdzHdsR3Rv8dHmYOuXCSYwtTxdj5K9dP3r_WrphayM0lCrBPJ0cXgDMtpX1fi13QGhwPiixuB2sEpSGTHsQGxigFo3WwquF_yLCfQWMA183Gv4wVToc7No/s1600/IMG_7202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1359" data-original-width="1359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzzJnuCI3aRSBiv2Al9Az24CdzHdsR3Rv8dHmYOuXCSYwtTxdj5K9dP3r_WrphayM0lCrBPJ0cXgDMtpX1fi13QGhwPiixuB2sEpSGTHsQGxigFo3WwquF_yLCfQWMA183Gv4wVToc7No/s1600/IMG_7202.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next up is one of my all time favourite perfumes by <a href="https://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/marc-jacobs-daisy-eau-de-toilette-spray-50ml-0010889.html?cgid=christmas-fragrance-gifts-for-her#pathName=Christmas--Our%20Thoughtful%20Gift%20EditpEnd">Marc Jacobs, Daisy</a>. I've already been through a bottle of this and it just smells so beautiful. The packaging is stunning, just look at that bottle top, and it's just such a fail safe fragrance that I think that any girl would be happy with. I always spray a little bit of this in my hair and it just seems to linger all day. However, if you don't like this one you may find that the <a href="https://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/marc-jacobs-daisy-eau-so-fresh-gift-set-75ml-0089062.html?cgid=christmas-fragrance-gifts-for-her#pathName=Christmas--Our%20Thoughtful%20Gift%20EditpEnd">Daisy Eau so Fresh</a> is for you because it smells absolutely gorgeous as well (there's a really good deal on a gift set for this at the moment by the way). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you don't think these are for you, my other favourites include <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/ysl-black-opium-eau-de-parfum-spray-50ml-0055933.html?cgid=yves-saint-laurent-black-opium#searchPath=searchpEnd">Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium,</a> a beautiful vanilla scented scent, and <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/paco-rabanne-olympea-eau-de-parfum-80ml-0061779.html?cgid=paco-rabanne-olympea#searchPath=searchpEnd">Paco Rabanne Olympea</a>, which is literally a dupe for <i>Coco Mademoiselle </i>and smells incredible. There's such a great range on the Fragrance Direct website at the moment so it's perfect for getting those Christmas presents for any guy or gal! I hope you've enjoyed reading this post and you don't leave buying presents til the last min like I do - I start off with good intentions but then I get distracted by buying myself presents oops. </div>

I always feel that as the seasons grow colder, my skin gets drier so my favourite thing right now is applying a cream or liquid highlighter just on it's own or under a power based highlighter to really give a dewy, healthy, 'lit from within' base. </div>

Cream Highlighters </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I think that cream highlighters are really lovely but can look a little bit cakey if you go over board with product or aren't blended out properly. But isn't that the same for everything if you don't blend out properly? </div>

<i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mE92">The NARS multiple stick in Copacabana</a></i> is one of my favs for applying straight onto the skin, sometimes I apply this to my fingers first and then blend onto the skin or apply directly onto the high points of my face and blend using a kabuki brush for a seamless finish. The same goes for this highlighter by <i><a href="https://www.milkmakeup.com/highlighter.html?dwvar_highlighter_shade=Lit&cgid=makeup-face#start=1">Milk Makeup in the shade Lit</a></i> (which it is by the way, it's LIT). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>Copacabana</i> is a beautiful light pink champagne shade which is actually quite thin whereas <i>Lit</i> is a thicker formula and really gives a golden glow cause the shade is gold - duh. This one requires a little bit more blending and I usually spray a little bit of my <i>Pixi Milky Hydrating Mist</i> over my face and then blend everything in with one of my <i>Sigma Kabuki brushes</i> for a really beautiful natural finish. Once applied you can either just leave it, which looks utterly stunning and natural, or you can add a little bit of power highlighter over the top which will really <i>pop</i>. </div>

Liquid Highlighters </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you want ultimate dewy skin goals, liquid highlighters will be your new best friend. As well as applying these over the top of your foundation, you can apply these before application for a really illuminated base. </div>

Starting with something I only have a sample of is the <i><a href="https://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/13824/364/Products/Skincare/Moisturizers/Strobe-Cream?gclid=CjwKCAiA0IXQBRA2EiwAMODil-C2liWwKC8EA8ZziU_JsAmI9Lc6jjA_EsuWqmjK_ahj9buDdSC8nRoCOx0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CPqprp_8rNcCFdW1UQod_ecCSw#/shade/Silverlite">Mac Strobe Cream</a></i>. I have a few of these which came with some Mac deliveries and they have lasted me a very long time (I'm still using up the first one!). I know this is called a cream but to me it's very liquidy, hence, including it in the liquid highlighters section. This actually comes out as pure white with gorgeous pearly iridescent reflects, but don't be worried about blending it out as it's very thin. I believe this is actually a moisturiser but I like to use it over the top of my base makeup patted into the high points of my face with a little bit of powder highlight over the top. I think any moisturiser placed over the top of your makeup gives a really dewy radiant glow but this is just on another level. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Finally, we have the most majestic liquid highlighter. This is the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mE9Q">Cover Fx Custom Enhancer Drops in the shade Moonlight</a></i>. This comes out as molten champagne goodness and when blended into the skin is just so majestic but still quite natural looking and not at all cakey. Because these come out as drops with a little pipet, t's really easy to add a little bit into your foundation for a really radiant finish. The only downfall with this product is the price but having said that it's a beautiful high quality product and you really pay for what you get. </div>

One of my favourite things throughout the year are all the Lush seasonal releases, they contain some of my products to date and the Halloween range contains one of my favourite scents ever - I will use it year round cause it's so beautiful. So anyway, lets get on with my halloween lush picks. </div>

Oh bless, my lil one is suffering from a lil bit of conjunctivitis (I mean let's be honest.. He's completely dead). I cannot get over how beautiful this smells, I'm so bad at describing scents but this is divine and contains a combo of lime and neroli oils. I'm not sure whether it was because I was keeping mine in the bathroom, relatively near to the ceiling (so my brothers couldn't pinch them) but mine went a little bit gooey, melty and crumbly.. You can probably tell from the photos, but still, can't wait to use this on Halloween! I'll definitely be purchasing another one of these before they go out of season as they smell, so, good. Big fan.<br />

So this is the original pumpkin bubble bar and it just smells like everything good and right with the world, a.k.a. Autumn. It is very glittery, fruity and an essential bath product when it comes to setting magical halloween vibes. I mean, need I go on with this one? It speaks for itself really.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike the original pumpkin bubble bar, this one smells more floral and is covered in pink glittery goodness. Even though I adore the original, this one also smells so amazing. I would actually go as far to say that I prefer this to the original one?! Maybe it's because the scent is quite fresh which I love and you can definitely pick out the jasmine. Love love love.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/shower-gels-jellies/lord-misrule">Lord of Misrule Shower Cream</a> </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh my lord, this shower cream smells amazing. It contains a mix of '<i>spicy patchouli, stimulating black peppercorn and fragrant vanilla</i>'. This scent to me is so earthy and musky but reminds me of hot spices too - oh honestly it's just so nice. When you use it in the shower it is a little alarming to be applying a bright green shower gel (it washes off though obviously) but it just smells incredible and that scent stays on the skin which I love. This is to date one of my favourite scents and it's probably one of their best scents (in my opinion). I would also say that I probably prefer this scent to <i>Snow Fairy</i>.. I know I know, I still love the <i>Snow Fairy</i> shower cream but <i>Lord of Misrule</i>, you are just on another level.<br />

So those were my Lush Halloween picks from this year. I am so excited to do a massive festive/Christmas Lush haul (which I feel like is acceptable as soon as we hit Nov 1st), can't wait for all the <i>Snow Fairy</i> products (even though <i>Lord of Misrule</i> is where the party is at). Hope you've enjoyed reading!</div>

Today I thought I would share some of the newbies to my makeup stash as I appear to have gone off the wagon and splurged on some high end products which I'm so excited to try out. It may have started with the justification that it would be wise to invest in them as Space NK were doing £15 off a £60 spend and that was all the justifying I needed - oh I am so weak.<br />
<br />
So I thought I'd start off with this beautiful bronzer: the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kRz4">Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in the shade Luminous Bronze</a></i>. I have actually already been through one of these and needed to repurchase it again. Now this bronzer is near the top of the bronzer food chain coming in at £45 per compact. Yes, it's eye wateringly expensive, and unlike the Hourglass blushers which seem to last forever, I used up my last one seemingly quite quickly. Honestly it's 100% worth it as this bronzer is utterly stunning and I swear by it. If you have the cash huns, don't be afraid, this bronzer will be your new BFF giving you sun kissed bronze realness.<br />

Next up is an eyeshadow I have been wanted to try for years but never got round to it because my eyeshadow addiction is out of hand. However, these colours are the most beautiful shades for Autumn so obviously now is the perfect time to purchase this. Yes you named it, it's the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kRjv">NARS Eyeshadow Duo in shade Isolde</a>,</i> featuring gold copper goodness. I've never tried any NARS eyeshadows before but I love the blushers so I have high hopes for this.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, we have a product from <i>Sunday Riley</i>. I finally made the decision to take the splurge - I mean £68 for one product just makes me want to cry - and pick up one of these oils, specifically the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kRBq"><i>U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil</i> </a>which is designed to treat and prevent acne. Honestly, the stress of going back to uni for my final year has given me major congestion and from watching <i>Samantha Ravndahl's</i> videos (especially this video linked <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaDorSHXvy8&t=830s">here</a>) and reading a tonne of reviews, this oil has been highly commended for it's skin clearing benefits and that's what I need right now. I think that seeing as this was so pricey, there will definitely be a post coming up in the near future to say if it's actually worth the splurge - cause lets be honest, there are a lot of cheaper alternatives on the market. But please can we take a moment to appreciate the beautiful packaging, its so luxurious, I love it.<br />

There you have it, the new high-end additions to my beauty stash (writing a blog post about them makes me feel like I can justify the spend even more) and I hope you've enjoyed reading this post. Also, I'm so impressed with the photography I took for these considering it's been raining all day today so the natural lighting has been tragic - so not cool. </div>

So it should be known that I'm a massive Charlotte Tilbury lipstick fan. I love and have some (I mean quite a lot) of her other products but in particular I adore her lipsticks and they seem to be the only lip products I wear these days. Obviously, when she came out with these liquid lipsticks I'm like hellO new lip products, and goodbye money.<br />

Like with all Charlotte Tilbury products, the packaging is to die for. These little liquid lipsticks still harbour the iconic rose gold encasing like the original lipsticks but they have red detailing on the front and the back. The wand as well is also different from normal liquid lipstick applicators. It's curved so that it fits the contours of your lips and has a little flat point at the top for application ease. Overall, the packaging gets a 10/10 from me because once again, Charlotte has completely nailed it with her beautiful packaging.<br />
<br />
So after debating which shade I should go for I decided to take the plunge and order <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kw0H">Rising Star</a></i> as it promised to be a warm pink matte and as I love <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kw0V">Liv It Up</a></i> so much and didn't think they'd be dissimilar.. they couldn't be more further apart. This shade is a lot rosier/muted than I had hoped for. But anyway, the shade aside, let's talk about the formula. </div>

The formula is very similar to the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kw1g">NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams</a></i> - it's not drying at all and very comfortable on the lips, honestly doesn't feel like you're wearing anything at all! Because it's not very drying, it does come off in the middle of your lips but I will say that it comes off really nicely. You're probably thinking what?! It comes off nicely? Well you heard right sista. You know those liquid lipsticks which, when they wear off are really noticeable and leave basically a solid line across your lips? Well this doesn't do that. I don't know if it's the shade, because it's quite similar to my natural lip colour, but it fades off quite nicely which I do really like.<br />
<br />
So speaking of the shade, it's very similar to <a href="http://www.anastasiabeverlyhills.co.uk/liquid-lipstick/liquid-lipstick.html?cgid=new#start=5&cgid=new"><i>Dolce</i> by <i>Anastasia Beverly Hills</i></a>, I'd say a little bit lighter than that actually but, still quite similar. I think that's the thing with matte liquid lipsticks, you just don't get that juiciness that lipsticks can give you as the colour is slightly dulled down. For me this shade was quite a muted rosey pink/coral... It does not suit me <i>at all</i>.<br />

I prefer this shade - <i>Rising Star</i> - patted into the lips rather than a full layer applied to the entirety - just because I think it looks nicer and isn't as drying. I do love putting a lipstick over the top of liquid lipsticks anyway - to prolong the wear time - and <i>Rising Star </i>mixed with the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kw1N"><i>CT</i> <i>Kim KW Lipstick</i></a> creates a beautiful shade of pink which I'm loving at the moment.<br />
<br />
The only negative I have with this shade in particular is that it's not the same shade as advertised on the website so I'm a little bit disappointed on that front. It's still a nice colour and would suit other people I just wish I had a chance to swatch them before buying - oops. So if any of you try any of the other shades please let me know but I'm thinking that I probably should have gone for Dolly Bird which looks like a gorgeous ballet pink shade. To me, this product is a bye because the shade does not suit me and I spent £24 on it, but the formula is a buy. If only I had found a shade that I liked/suited me! </div>

Okay, it's no secret that I'm a <strike>massive</strike> Disney fangirl but this place, while it is magical, is an instagrammers dream. I mean cmon, everything is so so beautiful. So here are my top places to take photos in Disneyland California main park (we didn't make it to the other one, maybe one day). So here are my top places to take pictures for those dreamy instagram pictures and tips for making the most of your day there. Be warned, this is such a long post but I lavvvv it! (Also how cute is the flatlay I took for this post - it's literally made of dreams). </div>

Yup that's right, as soon as you get into the park there's a great photo opportunity - but try and get one without people in the way because let me tell you, it's a prime photo spot. </div>

Main Street is an absolute dream for taking pictures of those cutesy little shop pictures as the exteriors are adorable. You will probably some of the characters walking around here, as you can see I saw Donald (very exciting) although I didn't get a picture with him - le cry.

I mean, it goes without saying that the castle is absolutely beautiful and is a gold mine for taking photos. I will say that this one is tiny compared to all the others, but it was the first one ever made so bare that in mind. I captured these cute little snaps of the castle from the side - i.e. where there are less people getting in my way hahaha - and I love the flowers and little trees as it makes it look even more magical. </div>

I come from a family who love Disney and we frequently visit the park in Paris so obviously a trip to California meant we had to head over to Anaheim and visit the original park. I think it's a must do thing anyway considering it's so close and obvs, why wouldn't you want to go?!</div>

If you're going in the summer holiday months, we went in July, it's considered to be peak time. I wasn't really sure what to expect but on the day we went it was okay and it wasn't too hectic. I think the thing with this park is the streets are a lot smaller, compared to the other Disney parks, so it can feel a lot more crowded. So anyway, here are my top tips to making the most of a day trip to Disneyland Resort California.<br />

<h3>
No.1 Do one park </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're not going on a Disney holiday or you don't have the time to spend two days there I would recommend just doing one park instead of buying a hopper ticket and trying to do both parks. Obviously, California Adventure has some amazing rides and a life sized Cars Land/Radiator Springs and the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride (converted from the Hollywood Tower of Terror) but it if you're going for that classic Disney magic feel, go to the main park. If it's not peak time then obviously you'll probably get a lot done at both parks but don't push it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.2 Buy tickets in advance</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It goes without saying that if you buy your tickets before the day (even if it's the night before) then you won't have to waste time queueing up in the morning when you get there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.3 Arrive before the parks open</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cannot stress this enough. Get there early so you have time to park or travel there etc. You want to be getting into the park just as they open so you can go on rides while there are no queues. You also avoid the security checks etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.4 Download the Disney App and pay for Fastpass tickets </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think this is really essential for making the most of your day. Not only does it mean that you don't have to use the machines to get the fastpass tickets for free, but you can do it all from your phone which saves time as you don't have to walk to the ride. It literally means you'll get fast passes for almost every ride. You do have to pay per person but it's so handy. It also tells you the real life wait times for the rides and you can book restaurants as well. Just bare in mind there are a few rides you can't get a fastpass for which I believe is <i>Peter Pan's Flight</i> and <i>Mr Toad's Wild Ride </i>so obvs, if you want to go on those go first thing because the queues are always hella long.<br />

<h3>
No.5 Bring a portable charger</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is kind of linked with no.4, if you're using your phone for the app and obviously pictures (probably snapchat & instagram) your battery will die a death, which cannot be happening if you need the app for fastpass.. You see the tragedy in this right.<br />
<br />

<h3>
No.6 Be prepared to get soaked on Splash Mountain</h3>
So basically we went on Splash Mountain twice. The first time, everything was swell, just a little refreshing splish splash, no big deal homie. The second time, oh the second time. So we went back on in the evening cause we loved the ride and yolo why the heck not? Oh we got DRENCHED. My clothes were soaked through. This wasn't even from the main drop (there are a few smaller ones before) but oh ma daizzzz, it was like I'd come out the shower and also there was no sun to warm/dry me. So yeah, this is your warning.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
No.7 Save souvenir buying til the end of the day </h3>
I think this is self explanatory, but you don't want to be lugging around loads of gifts etc so save buying the majority until the end, it'll also be quieter if you go during the fireworks.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<h3>
No.8 Bring water</h3>
<div>
Again, you will do a lot of walking and it's most probably going to be very sunny so bring water with you. There are fountains in the park to refill your bottles but buying them in the parks is extortionate. Please just bring some, you won't regret it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.9 Wear comfortable footwear</h3>
<div>
As mentioned before, you will do <b>a lot</b> of walking. Do not make the mistake of wearing uncomfortable footwear because your feet will die. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.10 Figure out if you want to watch the fireworks</h3>
Everyone will start reserving spots to watch the fireworks in the evening. Literally they will start from the early afternoon just to see them and they fill up pretty quickly. If you're not that bothered you can virtually see them from anywhere in the park or you can use the time to go on rides while people are watching them. Also, if you've had a really long day you might want to use this time to grab your bits from the shop and head home while there isn't a massive crowd rushing out to get home.<br />

Cargo Cosmetics Around The World Eyeshadow Palette | £32.00</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Starting with this absolute beauty, is a full sized eyeshadow palette. Like, what? I have never seen an eyeshadow palette in a beauty subscription box before (well I mean, this has probably happened but I feel like it's a rarity). This palette is so so cute as all the shades are named after places to take you around the world and guess what, they're... neutral shades *drops mic*. Not only does this make them perfect for literally everyone and anyone just starting out with eyeshadow. The palette includes 6 matte and 6 shimmer shades and they're set out in the palette as three quads and six duos (the lighter shade at the top coordinates with the darker shade directly beneath e.g. Rome and Shanghai) so you don't have to worry about marrying up shades together. I have never heard of Cargo Cosmetics before but this palette is such a winner in my eyes. And also, the price of this palette is basically the price of the box itself.<br />

Lica Cole The Good Vibe Discovery Kit | £23.00 </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Firstly, the packaging of this is so adorable. The kit contains an Organic Cleansing Smoothie, an Organic Polishing Paste and an Organic Whipped Butter. Essentially it's a little kit of pampering goodness for your body, you begin with the cleansing smoothie to wash away dirt and bacteria, the Polishing Paste turns into a creamy exfoliant buffing away dead skin and finally, the Whipped Butter helps to keep your skin hydrated. I think this is such a lovely idea and it's all organic and filled with antioxidants so I can't wait to get using these!<br />

This next product is a smart moisturiser (although I'm not quite sure what makes it smart) - to me it's just a moisturiser. I'm not sure if this one is for me as my skin is oily so I'll probably be passing this over to my mum because my skin is so prone to breaking out when I apply something it doesn't like!<br />

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara Travel Size | £10.00</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have wanted to try this mascara for the longest time now. I've seen rave reviews about it and to be honest I think it's pretty good but not as thickening as I wanted it to be. It makes my lashes very long and spidery so I think it's amazing as a day time mascara but not as thick as I would have wanted it to be for evening wear. I know that I'm definitely going to get some good use out of this and it's perfectly sized to pop into your handbag for convenient touch ups.<br />

Smith & Cult The Shining Lip Lacquer - No Warning | £21.00 </h3>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the beautiful colour and packaging?! It is stunning. I've seen this brand a lot in Space NK but I had no idea they did anything other than nail polishes, so this is a pleasant surprise. I'd definitely say this is more of a festive colour - complete with subtle glittery reflects - so I'm looking forward to trying this out as we approach Christmas (exciting!) but I am more of a nude lipstick gal so we'll see how this measures up!<br />

So that's it for the September beauty box which had such a nice mixture of beauty and pamper bits. There are definitely some amazing products which I know I'm going to get so much use out of and you literally get so much for £35! So that's a wrap, I hope you've enjoyed reading this post!<br />
<br />
P.s. if you wanted to pick up one of these lush boxes up for yourself you can use the code 'COHORTEDGIFTME' for a free Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour (in the shade 'Maya') with all new subscriptions.<br />

I cannot believe it's now October, but also thank god because everything becomes more magical as the leaves change colour and the nights grow colder. I've never been one for writing up to do lists on my blog but I thought this month would be a good place to start and it's so nice to see progress. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.1 Prep for Halloween</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm currently in my third year of uni and halloween is sacred for us students. It marks the final halloween with all my huns in the same boat and there's something really sad but exciting about that - I also want an A** costume.<i> It's freakin' bats, it's always halloween in my soul. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.2 Continue working on my fitness </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a newly found love for the gym and I can't wait to see how much my strength & stamina will progress with continued usage and commitment. Cmon baby arms, grow, grow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.3 Strike a balance </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It can be a little manic when you're trying to write content for your blog and read all the essential and recommended readings for your seminars and assignments, have a social life, go to the gym etc etc. I'm hoping to strike a balance between all of these so I can stay motivated throughout this month and the foreseeable future. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.4 Start a Youtube channel </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have wanted to do this for the longest time, but I feel like I'm a little bit awkward in front of the camera and the editing process is very long. I have actually put up a video before but obviously uploads need to be consistent.. Maybe this can tie in with number three. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
No.5 Pick up some new A/W scents</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nothing says cosy like some new candles and seeing as it has got so much colder this is the perfect time to make an investment. I have my heart set on some of the upmarket ones but also the <a href="http://www.yankeecandle.co.uk/product/sugared-pumpkin-swirl/_/R-1556040E112#"><i>Yankee candle in Sugared Pumpkin Swirl</i></a>, I mean how nice does that sound? I also want to pick up a new A/W fragrance, so any suggestions are more than welcome! <i>I'm thinking maybe something fruity from Jo Malone? </i><br />

As well as loving luxury beauty products I'm also a fan of drugstore products and NYX Professional Makeup always delivers. To celebrate the launch of NYX Professional Makeup in <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/beauty/nyx-professional-makeup">Debenhams</a> they very kindly sent me some of their best selling products which includes a palette exclusive to Debenhams - the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087014699_-1">Contour Initiative Palette</a></i>. So, I'm going to give you a little run down of the products they sent me.<br />
<br />
So first, let's start with the lip products. The <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087075099_-1">Soft Matte Lip Creams</a></i> are already a winner in my eyes and this shade in <i>Budapest</i> is the perfect transition/Autumnal shade. The formula of these are incredible, they're more like a mousse so they're not drying at all (and they smell like vanilla goodness) but it does mean that they have limited staying power. Having said that, they're so comfortable to wear and for only £6 you can't really go wrong! My other favourite shades are <i>Sydney</i> and <i>Cairo</i>.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Autumnal shades, the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087039599_-1">Lip Lingerie in 'Exotic'</a></i>, a muted orange toned nudey red, is Autumn in a tube. This is definitely more drying than the soft matte lip formula but it does mean it lasts for way longer. Now for a shade I wouldn't normally go for, the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087043099_-1">Liquid Suede in 'Downtown' Beauty</a></i>, is a deep chocolatey brown which I'm excited to try and pull off now that we've hit Autumn/Winter (but I don't know if I'll be able to). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Oh and this little gem, the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087005299_-1">Butter Gloss in 'Strawberry Parfait'</a></i>, is my fav of the bunch. If you know me, you know how much I love a pink shade. The butter glosses are divine and I already have my eye on some of the other nudey shades as well (because you can never have too many right?). This shade gives a lovely little sweep of colour which isn't too overpowering and it's seriously stunning. My other fav is in the shade '<i>Fortune Cookie</i>', which is beautiful nude (surprise surprise). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now onto palettes *drools*. Firstly, let's start with the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087014699_-1">Contour Initiative palette in 'Jewel Queen' </a></i>which is exclusive to Debenhams and holds two highlighters, a blush and six eyeshadows. I feel like this palette has some shades that I wouldn't necessarily use on an every day basis because they are hella bright and I'm more of a neutral person, but there are still some really lovely shades in here (like that champagney gold shade *swoons*). I also feel like the blush is more of a bronzer on my skin tone but it actually makes a really lovely eyeshadow. The palette also comes in another shade, <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087014799_-1">'Warm Zone'</a>, which looks perfect for A/W. </div>

Oh how I love a neutral eyeshadow palette. This is the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087088999_-1">Ultimate Cool Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette </a></i>which contains 16 eyeshadows and oh my, look how beautiful they are *inserts all the heart eye emojis*. There's a mixture of shimmers and matte shades and I know this is going to be one of those palettes I'm going to reach for every day. I mean, look at those dusty pinks and champagnes. I have to say, the <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087089199_-1"><i>Ultimate</i> <i>Warm Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette</i></a> looks like the perfect everyday Autumnal palette so I'll definitely be adding it to my basket at some point soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Onto the dreamiest highlighting palette, this is the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087081499_-1">Strobe of Genius Illuminating Palette</a></i> which contains seven highlighting shades. From a lavender to a golden bronze, this palette has it all. My favs are the more neutral champagney shades because they suit my skin tone but oh this is such a beautiful palette. As well as using this on the face, I also like to use this on my eyes. Yes, that beautiful bronze highlight shade looks b e a u t on the lid - ah so majestic! </div>

If you read my blog you know that I have oily skin so the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087064999_-1">Shine Killer</a></i> and <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087056699_-1">Pore Filler</a></i> are literally made for me. These are both amazing for prolonging the longevity of my makeup and reduce the appearance of (you guessed it) pores and shininess. I think I'd probably compare the texture of them to the <i>Ordinary Silicone Primer </i>which I love, but the <i><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8429496/type/dlg/http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_121087056699_-1">Pore Filler</a></i> makes my skin look amazing and evens out the texture of my skin/fills in my XXL pores, such a winner!<br />

If you read my <i><a href="http://amelialottie.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/summer-makeup-and-skincare-essentials.html">Summer Essentials</a></i> post then you will already know just how much I love Fragrance Direct as it's my go to destination for buying products from my fav beauty brands. Not only do they have fragrance but they have a whole host of other products such as skincare and hair products, so with that in mind, I decided to stray away from the makeup. Now if you're a student like me, discounted beauty products are a way of life and that's exactly why Fragrance Direct is the best for this because everything is more affordable and on top of that, you can get 10% off your shop year round with <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/unidays-asset.html">Unidays</a>! So anyway, here are the pieces I picked up on my recent FD haul.<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So first up, let's start with this Essie polish. I picked it up in the shade Coconut Cove, which is a beautiful slightly off white colour, more of a very light cream shade, which i'm obsessed with at the moment - I just feel so elegant with white nails and they make me think of summer. Also, it was £2.99... Can you believe it? Such a bargain for this little beauty.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next up is a hair product from Philip Kingsley. Ever since reading about this on <a href="http://www.devotedtopink.com/">Leah's blog</a> I knew I had to try it. It's an intensive pre-shampoo treatment (so a hair mask basically) for all hair types which claims to add elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine. I've used this once already (the instructions said to leave it in for 20 mins but I left it in for the whole day) and when you get in the shower and you're about to shampoo your hair feels so soft already. Aside from that, my hair was bouncier and shinier which I really love and I'm looking forward to continue using this as the more you use this the better the results will be.<br />

So I'm just gonna put this out there that I'm terrible with looking after my eyes. I didn't actually own an eye cream (until now) because I was like nah you don't get wrinkles until you're like 50 I'll be fine (<i>narrator: all was not fine</i>). I have little puffy wrinkles underneath my eyes and that area has started to become dry so obviously, I had to dry this little baby out to help combat this issue. So far I've seen massive improvements with the hydration and my eyes seem less puffy so I'm absolutely smitten!<br />

Last but not least is this little gem. Ever since smelling this I've been lusting after it. Honestly, it smells very similar to Coco Mademoiselle but this one lasts so much longer and it's a fraction of the price. The packaging is rose gold i.e. a bloggers dream, and I'm completely obsessing over this scent!<br />

So there you have it, my little Fragrance Direct haul. I literally love everything I've picked up and it's so nice knowing you've scored yourself a little bargain. Also, it's the perfect destination for me because apparently, even though I'm a student, I like to think that I'm not.<br />

You know when a beloved product hits the bucket, i.e. dies a death/runs out on you, so buying it again doesn't really feel like you're buying something new and to compromise you add in a little something extra to the basket to make yourself feel better - well yeah, that's me in one. </div>

When my beloved ABH Dipbrow Pomade ran out I decided to order it again because it is just amazing, but I didn't qualify for free delivery on <a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/becca-becca-x-chrissy-teigen-glow-face-palette.html">Cult Beauty</a>. You know what that means, add more items until you hit the free delivery mark - duh. Also, Lydia Millen (my queen) had a 15% off code so how could I resist adding a few more products in and making it into a little haul post cause now, my decision is justified with a post. So anyway, onto what I bought...<br />

I'm not even kidding, this product is amazing. Don't get me wrong, it can dry out towards the end but it's just so good for defining your brows. I tend to use my little Zoeva Winged Liner brush and fill in the tail and then bring what product is left forward to fill in the rest so the front is less harsh and fluffier. It's pretty good at holding it's own so it doesn't transfer and stays on for the whole day - yaaasss.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay don't shoot me, bad blogger alert, I have never tried anything from Pixi. Honestly, I see these products everywhere on my Instagram and on blogs but I just seem to neglect skincare. So anyway, I decided to buy this hydrating mist for before/after makeup or even before bed just because it looks convenient and if you're looking a bit cakey, add a little spritz of this. Honestly, can't wait to use it. It was a toss up between this and the Glow Tonic because literally everyone raves about that one but I thought I'd get better use out of this.<br />

I absolutely adore these. I have the shade Skinny Dip and it is incredible (and also well used and kind of running out) so I decided to buy this shade because it just looks so pretty.

I can buy the most expensive, most raved about base products, but without setting them, my face will become a melted mess - oh the perks of having oily skin! This post is all about my ultimate setting powder because trust me, I've tried a lot and this one is without question my favourite, and for quite a few reasons. </div>

So here it is, the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/gqCM">Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder in Translucent</a>. </i>It. Is. Amazing. I'm now on my second pot of this and I wouldn't go back. I came to realise just how good it was when I stayed over at my friends house and forgot to bring it with me. Naturally, I used hers which was a highstreet brand. Now there's nothing wrong with using highstreet products, in fact I use them everyday, but with every brand there will always be products that are better than others. After using this certain powder, my face looked cakey and it did not set anything at all. Later on that day my base makeup looked awful, like actually a disgusting cakey melted mess and it was all because I didn't use my beloved LM powder. I think when products become so integrated into your routine you forget just how good they are. </div>

I think the reason I love this powder is because not only does it set your makeup so nicely but the formula is so buttery and non cakey. Honestly, it is like buttery soft goodness and applies like a dream. I mean, I've come to realise that no makeup setting powder will keep my makeup on <i>all day </i>because of the oils but this one keeps everything on longer than others and doesn't look super caketastic. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I think the other thing I adore about this powder is the colour, it's a light banana shade so you don't look super ghostly after setting your makeup. Sometimes the white setting powders are just too much and make me look too bright and unnatural but this shade is <i>perfect</i>. Now this will set you back £29 but I 100% would not go back to some of the other powders I have used in the past. P.s. this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/gqOt">Real Techniques Setting Brush</a> is perfect for application, the bristles are dense enough to pick up the right amount of product and the shape is perfect for reaching underneath your eyes and hard to reach places (it's also a little dirty in these pictures but yolo).<br />
<br />
I'm still dying to try the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/gqRu">Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder</a> (which is even more expensive - £33) because I've seen so many rave reviews, so maybe a comparison post would be in order. Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed reading this post and if you have any recommendations of powders for oily skin then please shoot them my way!<br />

It's that time again, time for another <a href="https://www.cohorted.co.uk/">Cohorted</a>* unboxing and review! I just love that this box is always focused on luxury high end products and for only £35 per month you can't really go wrong. So anyway, let't cut to the chase and get on with the products inside the August box.</div>

Chirp Body Softness Hair Mask | £18.00</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, when I first saw this I wasn't sure it was going to work for me. I've tried an oil based hair mask before and it just made my hair so greasy - to be fair it was just coconut oil and I didn't wash it out properly oops. Another reason I was a little bit scared was because it says you need to wash it <i>twice</i> with your shampoo. Anyway, I tried this out, from root to ends, as instructed, and washed it out three times just to be sure (because I didn't want my hair to be greasy) and oh my god, when my hair was finally dry it was SO SOFT. I'm actually so impressed with this hair mask and it 100% lives up to its name so I'm excited to get some more use out of this little gem. PS, it's also 100% cruelty free.<br />

Too Faced Born This Way Concealer in Light Medium | £20.00</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh man, I was so excited when I saw this because I'm obsessed with Too Faced products. I'm a concealer addict and I love the Born This Way foundation so I knew I'd love this. The only problem is the shade is a little darker than what I go for but because it's a very medium coverage concealer it does blend out well so I can still make this work with my skin tone. In all fairness, I do like to wear a foundation which is slightly darker than I actually am and I can't help but love this concealer as it has a lovely radiant finish.<br />

Mac False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara | Sample Size</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've used up quite a few of these little samples before as I enjoy making myself poor by ordering makeup so naturally these have been sent with Mac orders in the past. They're great for popping into your makeup travel bag, if you're staying round a friends house or just popping in your hand bag as you never know when you might need it.<br />

I was a little bit disappointed that this was only a sample/travel size product as I love a new body wash and I do really like the scent of this one - it's not overpowering and smells very fancy. I suppose it is quite handy for travelling and the bottle is quite cute but definitely would have preferred a full sized bottle of this to get some real use out of it! </div>

And last but not least, this is an organic essential oil for hair, face and body which is said to repair, soften and nourish. As my skin is quite oily I don't like adding extra oil to my face but this is brilliant on my hair and body. I've used this a few times and it's pretty damn good at making my hair look sleeker/less frizzy and where I've been using it on my legs, they definitely feel softer. The scent is quite subtle and fruity/floral which is perfect as summer draws to a close (but I can see myself using this all the way through autumn and winter). </div>

So, <i>what's the verdict?</i> This month's box value totalled to £81.00, and when you're paying £35 per box is amazing! I have to say, it would have been lovely if the sample sized products were a little bit bigger as even though I know I'll use them, it won't be long before they're finished. I have loved the August box and I'd say it's definitely more geared up for pampering yourself instead of new beauty finds but who doesn't love a good pamper?! I love finding new luxury brands that I wouldn't have found before so I hope you've enjoyed reading. </div>

If you've seen any of my other blog posts, you will have seen that I've just been to America which obviously meant that a makeup spend up would be involved. I'm telling you now, you will mentally tell yourself to be good but you get into that makeup store and an overwhelming sense of excitement will flow through your body which essentially counteracts any rational thinking. I travelled to Las Vegas, LA/Newport Beach and San Francisco. Each different place involved three different splurges, so collectively here's what I picked up.<br />
<br />
So my first stop was in Las Vegas where I met the lovely <a href="http://www.fridayfaye.com/">Faye</a> and hit up Sephora - her blog and Instagram are actual goals, all of her photos are seriously stunning and dreamy so if there's one thing you do today, please follow her!<br />
<br />

I think we both beelined to find the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/fsYY">Sol Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream</a></i> and ended up finding a travel sized 75ml version, which is perfect to take on any flight because it fits the liquid limit. Anyway, having tried it through my stay, I decided to pick up the full sized tub on my last day in San Francisco because it worked out cheaper to buy it in the states than in the UK. I can't comment on whether it's made my bum any perkier, but it smells phenomenal and makes my skin feel so soft and in my eyes that's a winner.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I don't think either of us had a list so I genuinely think we swatched everything in the Caesar's Palace Sephora - which is blimmin' massive btw - but it was 100% worth it. We stumbled across the <i>Stila <a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/stila-cosmetics-magnificent-metals-glitter-glow-liquid-eye-shadow.html?variant_id=9776">Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Kitten Karma</a></i> a.k.a. the shade of my dreams. I can't even explain to you how beautiful this is. It's a beautiful shimmery champagne shade and I'm genuinely in love with it but I'm also lusting after Ballet Baby which is a sheer baby pink with a silver sparkle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What haul would be complete without a new highlighter? I've seen liquid highlighters over Instagram, and in particular the CoverFx ones, but having swatched nearly every highlighter this one stood out.. literally, it was blinding. This is the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/fsW5">CoverFx Custom Enhancer Drops in Moonlight </a></i>which surprise is another beautiful champagne shade. I'm actually obsessed with this product, unlike cream highlighters this is has just hit new heights of achieving perfect dewy glowy skin without looking like a cake.<br />
<br />
As I might have mentioned before, I live for the glow. So I also bought another cream highlighter stick from <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/fsZz"><i>Milk Makeup in Lit</i> </a>which, you guessed it, is another champagne highlight shade. I think, my mentally for rationalising this purchase was that you can't get hold of this in the UK? But it is a seriously stunning shade and I live for cream highlighters at the moment so, adding it to my collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTKQyJXPpSEe3dQT8n_uqo7y8HKYXlCwRI59gL167O_1AMWceRWZlL1y4SkYzaBxckBK0_eJkUX6d21HZsCPbUU27JqjTetYyI4PWopx3fq0gU24FX3jLPuGc7qHJgUbEWK9wpRYDvPjU/s1600/IMG_4927.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1135" data-original-width="1135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTKQyJXPpSEe3dQT8n_uqo7y8HKYXlCwRI59gL167O_1AMWceRWZlL1y4SkYzaBxckBK0_eJkUX6d21HZsCPbUU27JqjTetYyI4PWopx3fq0gU24FX3jLPuGc7qHJgUbEWK9wpRYDvPjU/s1600/IMG_4927.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
There was also a little bit of skincare involved in this haul, and who can resist a rose gold/copper face mask?! This is the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/fs0Z">Origins GinZing Peel Off Mask</a></i> and not going to lie, I've wanted this mask for ages so when I saw it in Sephora I'm like yaaaas girl treat yo self. Since using it a few times, it's very zingy and makes my eyes water a little bit before it dries but forget the tin man, you're gonna look like the rose gold queen, it leaves your skin feeling real soft once you've peeled off all your impurities and dead skin. Speaking of skincare, I also picked some of the own brand <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/fsSN">Sephora sheet face masks </a></i>because i've used them before and they're so so nice. <br />
<br />
Newport involved a cheeky spend up in Ulta. Little did I know that the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/fsWC">Tarte Shape Tape Concealer </a></i>was exclusive to Ulta so obviously I had to get it. What really got me was how big it is, the wand is massive compared to your average concealer wand. I've used this a handful of times since using it and I completely understand the hype<br />

For the longest time I have wanted one of the Lorac unzipped palettes and when I finally saw and swatched them I immediately decided on the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/fsXK">Original Unzipped Palette</a></i> because the shades just look so gorgeous. My eyes are green so I'm all about those purply hues to make those eyeballs pop. Upon first impressions the shades are extremely buttery, soft and unlike any other eyeshadow formula I've tried so I'm so excited to cover my face with these (well okay, I mean my eyes).<br />
<br />
I also picked up the most beautiful <i><a href="http://www.boots.com/essie-duo-kit-mint-candy-cut-above-nail-varnish-10230843">Essie Nail Polish in 'A Cut Above'</a></i> which is essentially pink glitter (so majestic), the <i><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/fs4Z">L'Oreal Lumi Magique Concealer</a></i> - a dupe for the YSL concealer - and two of the <i><a href="http://www.boots.com/nyx-professional-makeup-lip-liner-pencil-10209292">NYX lip liners in Natural</a></i> (the most difficult shade to find in the UK) - a dupe for Mac's Whirl lip liner.<br />
<br />
Of course I had to pop into Bath & Body Works where I fell in love with the <i><a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/p/pumpkin-pecan-waffles-3-wick-candle-023532339.html?cgid=3-wick-candles">Pumpkin Pecan Waffles 3 wick Candle</a></i>, which smells heavenly. I can just see this being the perfect Autumnal candle and I'm excited to start burning it (stay tuned for those Autumnal posts).<br />

Hey hun buns! This summer I've been fortunate enough to travel to America and do a little road trip type thing of the west coast - starting with Las Vegas (you've probably seen or read about it on my Insta if you follow me). I literally took photos of everything with my trusty Olympus Pen E-PL7 so obviously it had to call for a photo diary type thing of the whole experience - duh. So be expecting a few more of these types of posts (US makeup haul coming very soon).<br />
<br />
We stayed in the Vdara hotel which does not have a casino that takes 5 hours to walk through (with the potential of getting lost in your own hotel) but also links up with the Bellagio and the Aria hotel (so if you wanted to walk to them and gamble then you can) but honestly I had no idea what the deuce I was doing with the machines and stuff like whatttt. Actually come to think of it I think a lot of the hotels are linked, but I'm not really sure how exactly it works so. Our hotel room was actually beautiful and had the most insane view of the Bellagio fountains each night which was seriously stunning.<br />

Part of our trip involved a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon which was actually insane and I was actually really worried I was gonna get travel sick and throw up all over myself - it's okay because I didn't, we all good homies. </div>

So now we move onto the Caesars Palace section - where I met up with the lovely <a href="http://www.fridayfaye.com/">Faye</a> where we hit up Sephora (post coming v soon), and I literally took a photo of e v e r y t h i n g. I mean, when everything is this photogenic you have to take a photo of everything cause you only live once hahahah. I will admit that without Faye I would have most definitely got lost inside this hotel because it is <i>gigantic</i> and a maze. These shops are mainly designer, except from a massive H&M store, so if you want high street vibes you can hit up the Miracle Mile Mall which isn't too far from Caesars Palace. </div>

As you can see, the theming is incredible and I kinda felt like I was in Rome, even though I definitely wasn't. Also, thank god for air conditioning because without it I would have been a puddle on the floor. Walking around outside in the midday heat is something out of a sweaty nightmare, please make sure you do the majority of your walking about and exploring in the mornings or evenings - if you do go out in the midday sun make sure you have suncream, sunglasses and lots of water. </div>

O and finally (haha pun intended) we saw "O" by Cirque De Soleil which was absolutely incredible. If you are planning a trip to Vegas then 100% make sure you book tickets for this in advance because they will sell out. The show is absolutely phenomenal, and a little bit strange at times, but I couldn't recommend it enough.<br />

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm an absolutely sucker for packaging. If it looks beautiful I'm probably most definitely sold, regardless of what the actual product is like. I think with Becca, I adore their products so much and they're basically faultless so I knew I'd love the product anyway, so here are my thoughts! (Oh and I'll be completely honest, I had no idea who Chrissy Teigen was before this palette came along oops). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This beautiful palette has two highlighters, a bronzer/contour and a blush - I've hit pan on both my Becca highlighters in <i>Champagne Pop</i> and <i>Pearl</i> so obviously I'm a bit of a highlighter lover. The two highlighter shades are in <i>Peach Nectar</i> (the lighter of the two with the pretty embossing) and the darker one in <i>Rose Gold</i>.<br />

<i>(Swatches in direct sunlight, top - bottom: Peach Nectar, Hibiscus Bloom, Rose Gold, Malibu Soleil) </i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The <i>Rose Gold</i> shade is too dark for my skin as a highlighter but it's quite nice on my eye lids and as a little blush topper, but for darker skin tones it would look stunning for enhancing those cheek bones. <i>Peach Nectar</i> is such a beautiful champagne peachy apricot shade but the embossing is so pretty it makes me not want to use/ruin it. It is however, exclusive to the palette so I'm hoping I don't love it too much cause otherwise I might cry/petition for it to be made available for normal purchasing. I'll just say this now, Becca highlighters are up there with my fav for the formula/way they look on the skin. They're so blendable and give the perfect amount of glow which is also buildable - perfect for those who like to be seen from the heavens by the highlighting gods.<br />
<br />
This palette also features a blush and contour shade. The blush shade - in <i>Hibiscus Bloom</i> - is a limited edition, luminous golden coral pink. This blush is absolutely stunning. It's very bright so a little goes a long way but I absolutely love it and it looks beautiful on the skin. The bronzer shade - in <i>Malibu Soleil</i> - for me is more of a contour shade so I still use it as a bronzer and it's really lovely but I feel like it's not dissimilar to the <i>CTilbs Filmstar Bronze and Glow. </i>In the pictures you can't really see it that well but it does have a little bit of shimmer so it's not completely matte, so it is really lovely for warming up the skin as I love a luminous bronzer.<br />

<br />
So do you need this in your life? Absolutely! This is the perfect palette for a summery glow. These shades are utter perfection and if you're a blogger who is addicted to the gram (even though it's hella annoying right now) then this looks stunning in photos too. The outside packaging is gorgeous - with a plasticy pick outer - and houses a giant mirror so it's perfect for doing other makeup bits/travelling.<br />
<br />
It retails for £45 (which you can still get at <a href="http://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/makeup/sets-palettes/complexion/becca-x-chrissy-teigen-glow-face-palette-MUK200019147.html">Space NK</a> and <a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/becca-becca-x-chrissy-teigen-glow-face-palette.html">Cult Beauty</a>) and in my opinion is worth every penny. So what are you waiting for?!<br />

I feel like life lately has been quite hectic and as a result my blog has taken a backseat which really upsets me, so obviously I'm going to write about it on da blog. So as I'm writing this post, I'm currently sat in my hotel room in Newport Beach, California and I'm so excited to go out and explore but I'm also so tired from our drive from Las Vegas. Also just be warned, this post is quite photo heavy and includes a lot of photos from this period. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So anyway, after finishing my second year university exams (where I did get a first in 6/8 of my modules) I took my driving test the week after - and when you're trying to cram your lessons in after taking a break, it's quite stressful. So then after that was done (I did pass by the way.. Even though when the examiner got in the car I couldn't start the goddam car omg so embarrassing) I started my internship in London the week after. This is all well and good but when you're trying to keep your retail job on a Saturday (where I also worked sale prep and sale days) it's very difficult to find time to do a 6 day week, watch Love Island (Kem and Chris defo should have won), work out, have a social life, eat properly and blog. So as a result my little space on the internet has been severely neglected.<br />

I think I'd be more motivated to blog if Instagram wasn't so frustrating at the moment. Do you ever feel like you're trying to win a losing battle? Cause that couldn't be more relevant right now. I've gained more followers and yet my likes have gone down? And then out of no where I lose over 100 followers in one week? Like what?!?!?! Very demotivating especially as Instagram is my primary source of traffic for my blog, can't let the algorithm win though! So if you're not following me you can find me over at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amelia.lottie/">@amelia.lottie</a> where I'll be mainly posting pink makeup photos and the occasional selfie (this will probably change though as I'm currently on holibobs in the U.S.A.) - so a little change up is long overdue.<br />

My internship was fab though. I do feel like I've learnt a lot and the whole experience has allowed me to grow as a person and focus on my goals (does that sound a bit cringe? Oh well). It was located near St Pauls Cathedral which is conveniently located next to One New Change which has been very bad for my bank balance hahaha. My uni friends are also mainly located in London so I got to see them and go for some amazing meals out too - big up Dirty Bones and The Diner. Although these certainly didn't help my summer body goals but what can you do when food is bae/life.<br />

I've always loved beauty box subscriptions but it got to a point where I stopped because I was receiving products that weren't really for me or of use so they'd end up stored away unused. Having said that, when Cohorted contacted me to review their June box I immediately said yes; The Cohorted beauty box contains a secret selection of luxury hand-picked beauty goodies, which is right up my alley as I'm always buying high-end products, and it all comes packaged in a sleek black box. Obviously, with all beauty sub boxes, you have no idea what you're getting until it arrives at your door! So here's what June's box had in store:<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Bellapierre | Glowing palette </h3>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4TNm4sCXTyOvx1D7hvc9VzAUo9djgI919tf9V3ubxmWKvIW-4UtlCzNx4JFanqQ7mTrIHEp1etZUtLboqAM8Sd6LeWYBzcKTagaZVB5EDzTf0vAknJZw0qJTfP08CU288kndtGa6Ysyo/s1600/IMG_3529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4TNm4sCXTyOvx1D7hvc9VzAUo9djgI919tf9V3ubxmWKvIW-4UtlCzNx4JFanqQ7mTrIHEp1etZUtLboqAM8Sd6LeWYBzcKTagaZVB5EDzTf0vAknJZw0qJTfP08CU288kndtGa6Ysyo/s1600/IMG_3529.JPG" /></a></div>
Bella Pierre is a brand that I've used before but that was a very long time ago. The company manufacture and produce all mineral makeup, which is completely cruelty free. I absolutely love highlighters (which you will know if you read my blog and follow me on Insta) and this palette immediately caught my attention; the packaging is sleek and beautiful. This palette includes 6 gorgeous shades which are lovely and shimmery so I've been using them on my eyes too. There are some shades that I probably wouldn't use as a highlighter because they're too dark for my skin tone so there's something in there for everyone! I would definitely say this product is the star of the show and retails for £40.00.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Bellapierre | Kiss Proof Lip Crème</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs7tzE1lsrA_LhGKRoC_UpQ2SFe6MyJ51LPqAJV7LKN3TsusaA7aZaBQC-buMidH33QKaMrlcMpgO99VSS30Rh5dNm-pMUOxwbFSppuNK3bm0MfKufFT3KdD3oVpEbrfwzY_8S8lrj3Eo/s1600/IMG_3536.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs7tzE1lsrA_LhGKRoC_UpQ2SFe6MyJ51LPqAJV7LKN3TsusaA7aZaBQC-buMidH33QKaMrlcMpgO99VSS30Rh5dNm-pMUOxwbFSppuNK3bm0MfKufFT3KdD3oVpEbrfwzY_8S8lrj3Eo/s1600/IMG_3536.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Another product in this months box was from Bella Pierre and it's this beautiful dark pinky nude liquid lipstick in the shade Antique Pink and couldn't be more of a me shade - I live for pinky nudes! I've been wearing this to my internship and I've found it lasts all the way through my commute and endless cups of tea so I'm super impressed! As it's a lip creme, the formula is similar to the NYX soft matte lip creme formulas, so it's less drying than your typical liquid lipstick formula. Absolutely love this and it retails for £20.00.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Too Faced | Better Than Sex Mascara</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl0Y902mphGcQAMqmmSkaZu1zMBH0radgnNBlAbrRX9g69KFrSSZRnawmO_XrjE7MoKX14TXxbHeu4C1ag_C19N65Km0nIQdyKARVbNnU70LaS3ambDB3ddBCmFSdP_NECHIwFRtOozeA/s1600/IMG_3532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl0Y902mphGcQAMqmmSkaZu1zMBH0radgnNBlAbrRX9g69KFrSSZRnawmO_XrjE7MoKX14TXxbHeu4C1ag_C19N65Km0nIQdyKARVbNnU70LaS3ambDB3ddBCmFSdP_NECHIwFRtOozeA/s1600/IMG_3532.JPG" /></a></div>
Oh Too Faced, the absolute queens of packaging! I’ve wanted to try this mascara for the longest time ever but never purchased as I’ve always heard mixed reviews and it’s nice to now own a sample version so I can form my own opinions of it! Having tried it out I do really like it, the wand is like a hourglass and it makes your lashes quite fluttery and spidery but also nice and thick. Overall I’m really impressed and I’m definitely going to get some good use out of this.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Kure Bazaar | Nail Polish </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
I’m not really a fan of brightly coloured nails but, having said that, I love a brightly coloured toe nail shade for the summer when your tootsies are out and you’re feeling mega cute with a tan, this shade in Glam by Kure Bazaar is absolutely perfect and hasn't chipped and worn off. I've been wearing it on my toe nails but I think on my actual nails it would look really nice on an exotic location with a cocktail in my hand but yes, love it on my toe nails for now!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
All in all, I've loved the June Cohorted beauty box! I know that I'll get full use out of all the products which I think is really important when investing in a beauty box subscription. These retail at £35 with the products reaching much higher and it's so exciting receiving a box filled with surprise goodies each month!<br />

I don't know about you, but for me fragrances complete an outfit. I love the YSL Black Opium to death, but I was wearing it around autumn/winter so it just feels wrong to wear it in spring/summer because I think of Christmas and vanilla goodness as it smells so sweet. Cue <a href="http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/gucci-bamboo-eau-de-parfum-spray-75ml-0062020.html?cgid=gucci-bamboo#searchPath=searchpEnd" target="_blank">Gucci Bamboo</a>*. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This beautiful fragrance is inspired by the bamboo handles featured on some of their signature Gucci bags and it's said to be 'strong yet graceful' to emanate strength and confidence but also femininity and poise. This fragrance is so light but still has vanilla notes which I love, but it's so fresh and beautiful. It combines sandalwood and vanilla (two of my favourite scents) which contrasts to the more floral scents of lilies and orange blossom. </div>

But can we just take a min to admire this beautiful packaging? It's shaped like bamboo - duh. Look at how cute that lid is! I feel so sexy and feminine when I wear this, it's like I've been given an alter ego (slightly ridiculous I know). I've been wearing this none stop as we transition to summer and it's such a beautiful scent which actually lasts on the skin. That's right, it lasts. I'm literally obsessed and I can see this becoming a staple within what's left of spring and through to summer. </div>
